Oregon amends debt collection statute to expand coverage to debt buyers
April 13, 2018
On April 3, the Oregon governor signed SB 1553, which amends Oregon’s debt collection laws to provide that a debt buyer (or a debt collector acting on a debt buyer’s behalf) engages in unlawful collection practice if it collects or attempts to collect a debt without providing a debtor, within 30 days of their request, documents which establish the nature and amount of debt.
